1 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Jon KoLsKY, a citizen of the United States, residingat Jennings, in the county of Decatur and State of Kan- 6 sas, haveinvented new and useful Improve- I ments in Toy Tractors, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to wheeled toys, particularly those of themechanical type,

10 and has for its object the provision of a toy vehicle designed to bedrawn along the ground or other surface and so constructed as tosimulate the action of a tractor.

An important object is the provision of a device of this character whichwill be particularly interesting and entertaining for use by childreninasmuch as a plurality of movable elements are provided which aredriven or operated by the movement of the device over the ground orfloor.

An additional object is the provision of a device of this characterwhich will be simple and inexpensive in manufacture, amusing in use,durable in service and a general im- 5 provement in the art.

With the above and other objects and advantages in view, the inventionconsists in the details of construction to be hereinafter more fullydescribed and claimed and illus- 3 trated in the accompanying drawingsin which,

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device with parts broken away and insections. Figure 2 is a plan view and y 35 The remaining figures aredetail views.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, I have shown my device ascomprising a rectangular frame including longitudinal bars connected bycross-bars 11. Journaled at the rear portion of this frame is a shaft 12upon which are mounted ground engaging wheels 13 over which may extendguards 14: suitably secured to the frame. Also secured upon the shaft 12at the central portion of the frame is a relatively large pulley 15 fora purpose to be described.

Secured at the rear portion of the frame is a seat 16 and located inadvance of the seat is a steering wheel 17 in front of which is mountedthe representation of a gasoline tank 18. The forward end of the frameis supported upon a bolster 19 beneath which is pivoted the front axle20 which carries ground engaging wheels 21 and with which is pivotallyconnected a tongue 22 which serves as a handle by means of which thedevice may be drawn alongthe ground Secured upon the forward end of theframe is a superstructure 23 which is formed to represent'a radiatorand: secured upon the intermediate portion of the frame is asuperstructure 24: to resemble a motor. The numeral 25 designates ashort bar which conthe motor.

J ournaled transversely of the motor structure 2 1 is a shaft 26 uponone end of which is secured a fly wheel 27 and upon the other end ofwhich is secured a pulley 28. Secured upon the intermediate portion ofthe shaft 26 is a pulley 29about which is trained a belt 30 which is inturn trained about the large pulley 15 on the rear axle.

J ournaled transversely 'of the radiator structure 23 is a shaft 31 uponone end of which is mounted a fan 32 and a pulley 33. Trained about thepulley 33 is a belt 3 1 which is in turn trained about the pulley 28 soas to be driven thereby.

When the device has been constructed and assembled as above described,it will be seen of the action of a tractor so that it will be extremelypleasing to a child. Owing to the simplicity of the construction and thefewness of the parts it isapparent that there is practically nothing toget out of order and that the device should consequently have a longlife and satisfactorily perform all the functions for which it isintended.

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of theinvention, it is to be understood that I reserve the right to make suchchanges in the form, construction and arrangement of parts as will notdepart from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoinedclaim.

Having thus described my invention I claim;

A toy of the character described comprising an elongated supportingframe, a rear axle journaled in said frame and carrying ground engagingWheels, a drive pulley on said axle, a revoluble front axle carryingground engaging Wheels and provided With a pivoted tongue, asuperstructure mounted at the forward end and designed to simulate aradiator, a shaft journaled transversely of said superstructure andcarryinga fan and a pulley, a superstructure mounted upon theintermediate portion of the frame and formed to represent. an engine, acounter shaft journaled transversely ofsaid engine structure and havingone end carrying a fly wheel and the other carrying a pulley, a belttrained over the pulley on the fan shaft and the pulley on the countershaft, a second pulley secured upon said counter shaft, a belt trainedabout said last named pulley and about the pulley on the drive shaft,fenderssecured upon the frame and extending over said first named groundengaging Wheels, an elevated structure mounted upon the frame andrepresenting a gasoline tank, a steering Wheel structure located at therear portion of the frame, and a seat located at.

the rear extremity of the frame.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

JOE KOLSKY.
